Love is deserved. The joy and appreciation are part of this dream.

This thanks are for all the dreams you had contributed to build and had helped to make true.

I’m a guy from Venezuela, so maybe my English is a little limited. I will just write about what makes you special to me, and why the Dragon Age’s games are my favorite.

Like a lot of people, I fight against a lot of problems in my life. I am a very creative person, so I will always need time for to let the ideas, emotions and inspiration flow. Some people say that videogames can’t be art, but I think that everything is relative in this life. And that life itself is a live metaphor.

I bought Dragon Age almost by coincidence, searching for a good RPG, because those are my favorites. I never thought that it would be such a wonderful choice that I will always be happy to had made.

The characters, the story… It’s impossible not falling in love with the depth of the world, the fantastic and magical atmosphere around everything. But the characters… And I not only talking about the companions. I’m talking even too about my own characters. Those are, for me, the shiniest stars of this marvelous sky.

Dragon Age let me know even more about myself, and even make accept me and helped to build this person that I am right now and I love to be.

Morrigan. The witch that stole my heart. The mysterious one that told me that it wasn’t bad to believe in the chaos and the darkness as a part of myself and the world. And that it doesn’t mean I’m a bad person. It’s about embrace the nature of the life’s essence.

I’m agnostic; I don’t believe in God. And Morrigan express too well my feelings about it too.

Anders. He even helped me to admit my sexuality. The way that it felt so right when I just choose him and let him and my character get on the waves of love… It inspired me.

Now my dear ones know that I’m bisexual, and how they embraced it was amazing. It’s incredible how the love and the fear can change your world.

Alistair, Leliana, Varric, Cole… All of them. All of those stars are in my heart.

I’m maybe giving too much appreciation to the writers, but I consider myself a writer too. Writing is one of my biggest passions. This is why I thank them for being an inspiration for me. Special thanks to Mr. Gaider.

All of the team of BioWare and every single person who make this happen. Is hard for me to just say “thank you”, but is even harder to put everything I feel in words.

I love what you are making with this dreams.

All the love that you are receiving is deserved.

Keep drawing your destinies in the stars of all of our skies.

Lot of love,

-Federico De Gouveia.

Thank you, BioWare.

Dear BioWare,

Thank you for creating the characters and the worlds that have been so impactful in my life-in so many different ways.

When my little brother died three years ago, I fell into a deep depression.  I wanted to hide from the world and never come out again.  I had already been playing Dragon Age and Mass Effect for years, but they became a refuge for me at that point.  Thank you for providing the distraction that my mind needed while I recovered, slowly, until I was able to engage with the real world again.

It may sound silly, but I will often play Dragon Age II when I’m missing my brother.  The relationship between Hawke and Carver reminds me so much of my relationship with my brother.  We always called each other ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister’ instead of our names, and our relationship was…strained at times.  But underneath that, we truly did love and care for each other, just as Hawke and Carver do.  So thank you for giving me that small little reminder.

The amazing worlds and characters in your games have proven to be an inspiration for me.  I’ve started creating again-something I haven’t done in many, many years.  I know I’m not great at it, by any stretch of the imagination.  I’m okay with that.  It’s fun.  And my confidence has been building with every piece of writing or art I put out there.  It’s also lead me to other people who enjoy it as much as I do, and I’ve made some of the best friends I’ve ever had because of it.  So, a million thank-yous for that.

I know the work you put into these games is more than I could ever imagine.  And you have to put up with some people who are less than friendly about certain aspects of them.  I admit to having a few moments myself where I thought, “WHY did you do THAT?”  But what I always remind myself is that if you hadn’t made me care so much about these characters to begin with, I wouldn’t be so upset about the things that happen to them.

And isn’t that just amazing?

I don’t know.  I think it is.  I’ve been playing video games my entire life, but I was never so passionate about them until I played Mass Effect for the first time.  Until I became the first human Spectre.  Until I played Origins and died saving Ferelden from the darkspawn.  Until I stopped the Collectors, became Champion of Kirkwall, and sacrificed myself once again to stop the Reapers.

It’s been a hell of ride and I can’t wait for the next adventure.   

So thank you.
